Boston's
original "All Salsa by Salseros for Salseros" party, over 5 years
running!

An Tua Nua is a great
contemporary Irish bar & grill on Beacon Street just outside of Kenmore
Square (only about 3 blocks from Sophia's). In the back they have a dance
club about the same size as the upstairs at Sophia's, with a sizable dance floor
that holds about 150 people, a bar, and plenty of lounge seating.

Close
to the green line (St. Mary's on the C train, Fenway on the D, Kenmore on the
B), plenty of street and lot parking.

Irish/America/Bar food available
until 10pm. I have eaten there regularly, it is very tasty and modestly
priced.

Note: they have Karaoke with my man Kev-Mac Daddy in the front
portion of the bar when you walk in, but don't let that scare you... Salsa is in
the back room! Full Bar. Please check your coat.

*******************************************************************2)"Salsa
for Gringos" Series begins this TUESDAY!

"The ideal class for people with
two left feet, and of course a great way to meet new people!"

Olaf Bleck
(MIT '89, founder of SalsaBoston.com), in conjunction with MIT Salsa Club, is
teaching a special two-part "Salsa for Gringos" series, a unique, fun, and
down-to-earth approach to learning salsa dancing.

These lessons are
geared towards new dancers wishing to learn enough of the basics to confidently
hit the dance floor. For more experienced dancers they are also great for
refining some fundamentals and breaking down "how it works" more
comprehensively.

There will be two sessions of two classes each, level 0
and level 1. It is recommended that you attend both a level 0 and level 1
class, and repeating them is also helpful.

Body Mechanics and Styling for
Ladies—the new weekly class will be starting a little later in January.
Learn to dance fluidly and gracefully, moving your shoulders, ribcage, arms, and
hips harmoniously. Incorporate these basic movements into your styling and
build on them.

And, Johnny & Kelly’s monthly salsa workshops are
continuing! Specialty workshops are a great way to refine your dancing by
concentrating on different aspects of the dance and music. Each month, we
teach a 1 1/2-hour workshop on a specific topic.

The January salsa
workshop will be Rhythm and Timing, Part II. We have received such
positive feedback from our December workshop on Rhythm and Timing, that we will
be offering Part II this month! We will have LIVE music in the studio to
help us gain a better understanding of the percussion rhythms that make us
move!

Stay tuned for details about the Body
Mechanics class and the January salsa workshop, Rhythm and Timing, Part
II.
